Skins (Halo 2: Anniversary)

For skins in other games, see Skins.

Skins are a component of player customisation present in the multiplayer portion of Halo 2: Anniversary. They were implemented for use within Halo: The Master Chief Collection during the Series 9 update, and work in a similar fashion to the skin systems of Combat Evolved and Halo 3.
